Hi,

Most of the above posts are not adding any value I'm afraid.

If there's one lesson that we all should have learned from the recent credit crunch is that we should not borrow money to buy things unless they are absolutely essential.

One post that did add value was the one that pointed out that the interest rate will be very high on the loan. Probably higher in real terms than any loan rate offered since the end of World War 2.

Could you say what the money is for please?
